What does everybody think of Muse? They recently had a concert in Bucharest that I attended and I thought it was just magnificent. They have a reputation of having a brilliant live act and they did just that. Anyone fancy them?

CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THIS POST!!

Muse are the dogs danglies - they really are. Wait until the DVD of Wembley is finally released

At the moment I am loving the latest Foo Fighters album. Havent really got into their previous albums but the new one is great

I bought ESP&G without big expectations and have to say it has completely exceeded them. OK it isn't as good as the debut album or The Color and The Shape but it has certainly arrested the gradual decline since then. Didn't rate In Your Honor one bit.

The new one is great. So much softer than the older stuff, not that i didn't like that as well. Shame their Radio 1 wembley gig is the same day as the euro 08 kick off, otherwise i would have been there.

Quality, i was going to get that as a xmas present for my mum but i guess it will have to wait now.

It will be difficult to top the last album.

I'm going to the Foo Fighters on the Friday, so shouldn't miss too much of the Euros.

Quite excited about the gig already!

[Roaming Rover]

Saw Manchesters best kept secret I am Kloot in Manchester last night. Great gig where they played a good mix of old and new songs.

Got the new album and there are some soon to be Kloot classics on it. How this band are not 100 times bigger i'll never know

Sounds interesting. Looking forward to it already

Woke up early to get tickets on the friday and didn't stand a chance. However thought i would check this morning and i got 1 standing ticket for the Saturday gig. Not to bothered about the euros as we aren't there. May sell it on ebay (£80-100) and then buy one at a lower price later. Cost £51 including all the fees.

Glad you like them grizfoot.

The new album is class and gets better with each listen. It's out early next year.

[Rovermatt]

Just back from the Kanye West concert at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast. What a show!

[colin]

I went to the Oxfam shop in Manchester yesterday, bought a birthday card, stuck a couple of quid in the Bangladeshi flood appeal box and picked up a CD by "Mull Historical Society."

One of the best I've heard for ages. It's on now.

[stegraham]

Should be number one this Xmas:

We're All Going to Die - Malcolm Middleton

[herbergeehh]

Just got home from Motörhead, ears ringing. Good stuff..

[bob fleming]

Just got home from Motörhead, ears ringing. Good stuff..

Same old set though? Any new stuff? Are they still playing Rosalie?

[herbergeehh]

Yep, they played Rosalie. Killed by Death another favourite, too bad I missed out on No Class due to exaggerated security at the door though.. Not sure what they played the first fifteen minutes, but they finished it off with Whorehouse Blues, Ace of Spades and Overkill..

[Flopsy]

A random thing - have a look for Malcolm Middleton - "We're all going to Die" (A Brighter Beat). Its quality and even though Colin Murray is pushing it, it should be actively supported to get to Christmas Number 1. Its either this or some X Factor piece of crap.

[herbergeehh]

YES! Another Roky Erickson and the Explosives-gig tonight. Merry Christmas!

[grizfoot]

... what's everyone elses albums of the year?

Edited December 22, 2007 by grizfoot

[herbergeehh]

So you've basically mentioned all the "indie"-albums released this year then?

To your credit though, you've managed to order them, I probably wouldn't.

I think my album of the year (since this is supposed to be year 2007 releases only?) might be Clutch: From Beale Street to Oblivion.

I'm not really good at buying new albums though, in my ears the best music were made long ago, and everything after seems a bit, I don't know, inferior? Enjoying the "Mothership"-release from Led Zeppelin, but I guess best of albums are cheating in this contest?

To comment on your list (since I didn't manage to make one on my own), am I the only one not seeing what Arcade Fire brings to the music scene? As for the Arctic Monkeys album, it didn't give me as much as the 1st (which was brilliant!). That Black Rebel Motorcycle Club-album is decent though.

4. Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank

I don't listen to a lot of music, so this is far and away my favourite album of the year.
